Rate Limits crash codex

Resolved 💬 1 comment Opened Jan 28, 2026 by bechti44 Closed Jan 28, 2026

What version of Codex is running?

0.92

What subscription do you have?

API

Which model were you using?

gpt-5.2-codex low

What platform is your computer?

ubuntu server minized

What terminal emulator and version are you using (if applicable)?

ssh terminal

What issue are you seeing?

I think I saw the error message multiple times and then disappearing.

eventually, this message stayed, until codex jumped back into prompting mode:


■ stream disconnected before completion: Rate limit reached for gpt-5.2-codex in organization org-ziNVwafmVlt0WSvipZNE6FbD on tokens per min (TPM): Limit 500000, Used 455052, Requested 65637.

› please continue


• Ran dmesg -T | rg -i "oom|out of memory|killed process" | tail -n 50
  └ (no output)

the agent fortunately able to continue once I tryed "please continue" but it was stuck, waiting for a new prompt during that time eitherway...

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Uploaded thread: 019c0552-ad93-7022-b578-38b7abac17ac

  1. Use the codex api
  2. Use the api a lot as a new user -> rate limit applies
  3. codex crashes the current agent loop

What is the expected behavior?

codex throttles up/down automatically when it encounters api rate limits.
